Eineriel had seen Grand Lord Vladya and Grand Lord Ottal, huot the one called Grand Lord Zaiper. Whenever his name was mentioned, the Urekai maids and human slaves would all look terrified. Every single one of them.

"He is the worst of all the grand lords. The slave girl, Annie, had whispered to him the day before, her eyes wide as she looked around to make sure no one was listening and the hallway was empty. "Lord Ottai can be sweet when he wants to be. and Lord Vladya is very scary. But like Lord Ottai, he is fair and just in his leadership. But Lord Zaiper?"

Amie had glanced around again. "He is a monster. His slaves die every day. Some starve, others are tortured for fun, and some are even raped to death. His slave masters are the worst, and Lord Zaiper does not care. He does not even see us as human." Emeriel's eyes had widened to the root of his hair. "This lord is worse than Lord Vladya?"

Emeriel felt deeply uneasy as he placed bottles of wine into a wooden barrel. He was so uncomfortable that he almost dropped a bottle in a moment of panic.

Luckily, his reflexes saved him, and he caught it just in time.

A good thing too, because breaking a wine bottle would mean fifteen lashes from the burning whip-and two nights in the dungeon, according to Master Gaine, the second Urekai slave master. Pull yourself together, Emeriel! Do not look at him. Stop glancing his way!

Picking up another bottle of red wine, Emeriel placed it carefully into the barrel with the others on the lower level.

"Two white wines and a perry for the twins at table four, Amie said as she walked up to him. She was one of the slaves serving drinks to the many customers at the tavern.

"Coming right up, Emeriel said quickly. He prepared the order and handed it to Arle, who took the bottles and rushed off

Glancing at Master Boris again, Emeriel noticed his creepy eyes were now following Amie instead.
